==In the TCG==

{{main|Old Rod (Neo Revelation 64)}}
The '''Old Rod''' was introduced as a {{TCG|Trainer card}} in the [[Pokémon Trading Card Game]] during the English Neo Series (the Japanese Neo Era). It was first released in the {{TCG|Awakening Legends}} expansion before debuting in English in the {{TCG|Neo Revelation}} expansion, with an illustration by [[Keiji Kinebuchi]]. A reprint with new artwork by [[Shizurow]] was included in the Japanese {{TCG|Offense and Defense of the Furthest Ends}} expansion, and then released in the English {{TCG|EX Dragon Frontiers}} expansion. Old Rod lets a player flip 2 coins. If both are heads, the player can search their discard pile for a Baby Pokémon (Neo Revelation only), Basic Pokémon, or Evolution card and put it into their hand. If both coins are tails, the player search their discard pile for a {{TCG|Trainer card}} instead and put it into their hand.

==Trivia==
* In [[Generation I]], the only Pokémon that can be fished out by the Old Rod is {{p|Magikarp}}, all of which would be [[level]] 5.
